Chapter 494: Chapter 292 Persuasion (One More Update)_1
The gaming pod was already in its second generation, but the price was still steep—costing millions, it wasn’t sothing the average person could afford.
Aside from those who won them in raffles, the vast majority of buyers ca from wealthy households.
At first, they thought they had bought a re toy, but after actually playing with it, they were awe-struck.
They had never seen such a realistic gaming device before!
Even at a simulated realism of only 18%, this percentage forged experiences they had never had before, completely imrsing them into the content of the ga.
And in “God of Cookery,” many ingredients that didn’t belong to this world abounded—century-old ginseng dishes were commonplace, while the food from the Classic of Mountains and Seas dominated, sothing even the rich had never seen before.
...
In order to indulge in more delicacies, they started spending big in the ga, employing other gars to cook for them while purchasing various in-ga ingredients, ultimately shaping the ga’s ecosystem to mirror their own realm.
Situations like this were actually very common; “Zhengtu,” “A Chinese Odyssey,” “DNF” were all shadows of this model.
Most players were just workers in the ga—the saying, “Free gas are also features for spending players,” wasn’t a joke, but the harsh reality.
The high tolerance of the gaming community also allowed for this to happen, resulting in the multiplayer gaplay of “God of Cookery” becoming what it was today.
After completing his investigation, Gong Gong couldn’t help but lant, “Capital is terrifying, thank goodness we Iron Guards don’t have sothing as frightening as capitalism.”
“We actually had it for a short ti,” said the Military Governor, flipping through the data. “There was a ti when the factory’s production capacity couldn’t keep up, and we had to distribute based on need.”
“That’s rationing, not capitalism. As a factory owner, I know this better than any Iron Guard.”
“Oh, then it’s gone.”
Putting down the data, the Military Governor picked up a dish of freshly prepared smashed cucumber. While eating, he asked, “So do you think the Great Heavenly Lord is dissatisfied because of this?”
“Possibly, the Great Heavenly Lord is compassionate and can’t stand the sight of suffering; perhaps he wouldn’t want exploitation to enter the realm of gaming either. And as employees of the Great Heavenly Lord, we must carry out his will, steer the ga onto the right path! Upholding justice starts with us.”
The Military Governor considered Gong Gong’s words while eating, finding sense in them.
“So, what should we do?”
“First, let’s contact everyone we can. Our power is still not enough; we need so players to take action with us. Only then can we fulfill the Great Heavenly Lord’s ideals.”
“I feel the sa way!” shouted Tai Yin from the side, as he digested his food.
“Shut up, brute. You have no place to speak here.”
“Co on then, let’s go for an offline PK!”
Gong Gong had infiltrated various gaming guilds with his multitude of alts; the nas from many guilds were already in his grasp, clearly laid out.
One of them had caught Gong Gong’s attention—an investigative journalist in the gaming dia, Chen Rang.
Chen Rang was now working two jobs; one to sustain his own life, and the other to maintain the lifestyle of his family’s Mukuai.
By day, he diligently worked as a dia reporter, writing the notices dictated from above, completing endless KPIs.
At night, he grinded away in the ga “God of Cookery,” continuously gathering various ingredients to cook for Mukuai.
The ingredients available in Nanan City were limited; level-six recipes required a visit to Linhua City, so he had to join a guild and work under its direction to keep acquiring different materials.
Most of the materials in the ga were procured through purchase, with daily limits on many items. So guilds would accumulate these items through their players and then cook specific foods during random events to earn a significant amount of money.
While most materials were collected by the guilds, the leftovers could still be used personally, so of which were rare and could make exquisite dishes.
Furthermore, players could earn points through this process, and with enough accumulation, they could even receive recipes as a reward. Today, Chen Rang finally got the coveted level-six recipe he’d been yearning for—ready to treat his own Mukuai to an extra al.
Although he couldn’t afford a gaming pod, as long as his Mukuai could eat happily, seeing her content smile made him very happy.
Moreover, today he purposely used a coveted gaming pod experience ticket, entering the pod to enjoy the rare level-six gourt dish together with Mukuai.
But just as he had returned to his small shop with the items he had purchased, he discovered an irresistible fragrance enveloping the exterior of his store.
The aroma was layered and enticing, full of ingredients that made one’s mouth water. The sll alone was irresistibly appetizing, and he wondered who was savoring such a rare delicacy.
The closer he got to his shop, the more intense the aroma beca.
Pushing the door open with curiosity, he was greeted by a rich scent that made him take a few extra breaths, almost losing himself in the inviting sll.
However, his sentint didn’t last long as he noticed an additional presence in his store.
Besides his own Mukuai, there was an uninvited guest.
